Regeneration projects are essentially large scale refurbishment interventions aimed at improving the land-value/rents of a private development and associated public space. The typical method of valuing these property developments is the net present value (NPV) approach, which can undervalue the flexibility of investment decisions. This is particularly germane with regard to the role of utilitie...

an investigation on the thermal performance of the soil as geothermal heat energy storage medium has been conducted. the thermal characteristics of the soil storage and the heat transfer from a heat exchanger in the soil, surrounding and bottom surface will be discussed. this investigation forms a contribution to a project to realize such storage to be charged from a solar heating system. this ...

— Geothermal technologies use renewable energy resources to generate electricity and direct use of heat while producing very low levels of greenhousegas (GHG) emissions. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy stored in the underground, including any contained fluid, which is available for extraction and conversion into energy products. Electricity generation, which nowadays produces 73.7TWh (1...

Dynamic building energy simulations need hourly weather data as input. The same high temporal resolution is required for assessments of future heating and cooling energy demand. The data presented in this article concern current typical values and estimated future changes in outdoor air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and global, diffuse and normal solar radiation components. Simulat...

Future low-temperature district heating systems (LTDH) require supply and return temperatures as low 55 °C 25 °C, respectively. In this direction, the use of night setbacks in office buildings is a problem. This article investigated typical building with large distribution system by tests simulations energy cost savings changing control from continuous high-temperature operation either to inter...
